"Hiss~!" Even with Beerus's composure, seeing Kakarot (Sun Wukong) break through to Super Saiyan 3 in the projection and have his strength surge tenfold in an instant made him draw a sharp breath when he considered the implications.
Though his strength had increased greatly because of his seclusion, and was now at least five times what it had been before, the power Baros had displayed at present was, at most, equal to Beerus's pre-seclusion strength.
But if Baros's power increased another tenfold or more from that foundation, Beerus would still have no path but defeat and death if they fought now.
More importantly, even an ordinary Saiyan could increase his power tenfold when advancing into the stronger Super Saiyan 4. Then what about Baros, the emperor of the Saiyan race who stood above the legendary Super Saiyan said to appear only once every thousand years—the opponent Beerus regarded as his strongest rival?
Twenty times, thirty times, or... fifty times?
Sensing the absurdity of Saiyans and the threat Baros posed, Beerus, who had been brimming with fighting spirit, immediately said in a deep voice, "Whis, send me back to that place. Increase the difficulty fivefold."
In the place where Beerus had trained in seclusion, there were many strange lifeforms within those Space-Time Storms. Each one was incredibly peculiar, and some of the stronger ones could even crush Super Saiyan Blue.
After the difficulty was raised fivefold, the Space-Time Storms' power would surge dramatically, nearly reaching the level of Universe-destroying storms. After all, the strange lifeforms at the Chaos hurricane level were powerful enough to rival Baros and Champa, the God of Destruction of Universe 6.
At that point, Beerus would essentially be fighting strange lifeforms comparable to Gods without end.
The difficulty involved absolutely could not be described as merely five
